RVE 245: Variety Acts - Ways to Take Your Show On the Road With Edzui Szumowski - a podcast by Heath Padgett

from 2022-04-07T14:00

:: ::

Today we have the pleasure of talking with Edzui Szumowski who is currently traveling the country performing with The Vernardos Circus!




Edzui (Edge-U) is a performer and ran away with the circus- TWICE. Once on a train in 1993 and this time in an RV in 2021. He’s lived on circus trains, mega cruise ships, flown over 1000 times in a decade chasing ships around the planet and is now living full-time in a Winnebago Micro-Minnie rocking his vaudeville dreams touring with a real live TENT SHOW CIRCUS! 




This interview is slightly different that past guests - Edzui isn’t currently an entrepreneur - but he was during COVID and its a good case study of the opportunities that are out there and how different situations in life have different seasons.




In this episode we talk about: 





  • How the live performance industry was affected by the pandemic and Edzui’s pivot into entrepreneurship to flex with the market and stay relevant from a distance

  • How circus life fits so intimately into RV life and some of the benefits and struggles of living while working with a traveling show

  • The opportunities for future generations of performers and how entrepreneurs can successfully fulfill live and virtual market slices while on the road in their RVs 

  • The struggles of live performances on the road with a society that is so connected and tethered to our devices all the time
